Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus adapted to predict failures in instruments.
  • US 2002/0128728 A1 relates to a remote maintenance system for electrical appliances wherein a central server and residential home servers which monitor local electrical appliances are connected via a communication network.
  • the central server supplies the home servers with a failure model for the analysis of local appliance status data and failure detection based on qualitative reasoning.
  • WO 2015/179370 A1 pertains to a method for dynamic troubleshooting of in vitro diagnostics instruments wherein a central computing device receives failure information from local computing devices in communication with an instrument, accesses data from databases and determines corrective actions by applying the data to a probabilistic model based on at least one of: patterns from the plurality of instruments and operator input. The central computing device provides the corrective actions to the local computing device to be displayed via a user interface at the instrument.
  • automated apparatus such as in vitro diagnostic instruments may include the use of robotics and are used to test and/or process biological liquids (otherwise referred to herein as "specimens").
  • Such automated apparatus are complex and from time-to-time may experience failures (e.g., malfunctions).

  • these types of solutions may be problematic.
  • An in vitro diagnostic maintenance apparatus according to claim 1 is provided.
  • failures in automated medical testing and processing equipment are typically diagnosed after they occur, such as by the operator receiving an equipment-generated error code indicating that a malfunction has occurred, and providing instructions on how to rectify the identified malfunction.
  • This after-the-fact, reactionary approach although adequate for malfunction diagnosis in the in vitro diagnostic instruments, may result in excessive repair downtime, and possibly extra labor costs due to overtime for unnecessarily-urgent repairs.
  • an in vitro diagnostic instrument maintenance apparatus helps to detect upcoming or impending failures.
  • the apparatus measures performance of one or more specific condition-based maintenance parameters (hereinafter “CBM parameters”) in order to make predictions about impending malfunctions.
  • CBM parameters condition-based maintenance parameters
  • a failure prediction engine may compare the one or more measured CBM parameters against a pattern library of "normal" parameters that are indicative of normal behavior. If the measured value of the CBM parameter over time is deviating from the "normal” as identified by a CBM failure prediction engine, appropriate actions can be undertaken to address the deviation.
  • the identification of a deviating CBM parameter may be indicative of deterioration (e.g., wear or impending failure) of a component (motor, heating unit, carousel, pump, valve, aspiration/dispense system, interfaces between sub-systems, processors, power supplies, or the like).
